SFPD: It Gets Better

Right on target -- these policemen and -women are all gay. This is probably the most encouraging IGB video I've seen. Word to the wise -- grab a hanky.


Whatever your feelings about police in general -- and I admit to more than a little concern with the way police forces are being militarized across the country, and the pernicious effects of "police culture" on actual law enforcement -- I think it's significant that a police department would get behind something like an It Gets Better video.

OK, Chicago -- your turn.
